Look at the following sentences:

He eats fish.
He teaches English.
He studies a lot.
He runs.
He is tall.

All of them contain verbs, don’t they? Actually, if you look at the very last one, you’ll notice it
doesn’t really contain a verb. I mean, what kind of verb is “is”? The others are all verbs. I
mean, “eats”, “teaches”, “studies”, and “runs” are all verbs, but “is” isn’t really a verb. In
fact, in many languages there is no word for “is”. For example, in Russian, Turkish,
Indonesian, and Arabic, there is no word for “is”. So, what colors do we give to “he” and
“tall” in “He is tall.”? I mean, there really isn’t an verb in this sentence. And if there’s no
verb, there’s no doer and no receiver either. So, what do we do with “he” and “tall”?

Well, we’ll just give them the color blue. That does not mean they’re doers. I never said that
everything blue is a doer. All I said was that all doers are blue.

Important rule #3: When a sentence has no verb other than "is/are/am" (which, as
mentioned above, don't really count as verbs), then the words on either side of "is/are/am"
are both in blue. In other words, when you have a sentence of the type "X is/are/am Y.",
then both the X and Y are blue.

Aamir is a student.

Aamir – X
student - Y

Nabiha is smart.

The dog is dangerous.

The house is big.

My dad is tall.

My friend's mother is nice.

His brother is his friend.

Your sister is American.

Your father is handsome.

Her professor's wife is absent.

Allah's messengers are truthful.

I am a boy.

We are the people of America.

He is our guest.

They are my father's friends.

I am her mother.

He is my father and friend.

The boy and girl are my students.

The man and woman and son and daughter are a family.

Please note that the X and Y have to be on opposite sides of is/are/am. In the sentence
above the X is obviously "man". What is the Y? It can't be "woman", "son", or "daughter",
because they're all on the same side of "are" as "man". The Y has to be on the other side of
"are". So, it must be "family".

Our family is big and happy.

My son's friend is fat.

The school's teachers and principal are hard-working and intelligent.

When we speak of "receiver" we mean something that's receiving an verb mentioned

explicitly in the sentence. So, don't think that in the sentence above "teachers" is a receiver
because it's receiving the verb of being owned by the school. No, it is not a receiver (because
it is not receiving a verb explicitly mentioned in the sentence).

My dad loves me.

My brother and I are friends and buddies.

I am a girl and a student.

You and your friend are our guests.
